I have played millions of rounds of twenty-one. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have wagered on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost a lot of money at twenty-one. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have bet on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get loaded with this method or beat the house, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is centered on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy 21. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original wager again. If I win this hand I then keep in play the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the wager back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely thrilling on occasion. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years back with $750 after 20 mins using this tactic! And a few days ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You must understand that you can say good-bye to much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the runs you see wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 game.
Wager five dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $5 wager
Bet five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $10

Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the first 10 dollar bet

Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Wager eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $80 bet
Bet eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total wager of $160
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first $160 bet
If you left at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s difficult to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and lower your bet or the end result will not be the same.
